The sound and music in our selected scene is particularly important in reference to the storyline and setting the scene and atmosphere of the party.
The camera focuses on Gatsby’s ring, thus creating a feeling of mystery and causes the viewer to focus entirely on the ring. This suggests to the viewer that the ring may be symbolic and important to the film’s storyline. The ‘clinging’ sound that plays as the ring comes into focus makes it more dramatic, and the noise resembles a glass or chime sound. It shows the path that Nick’s eye is following. This sound is known as non-diegetic, as the chime isn't actually occurring and isn't implied to be present in the film. It acts as a metaphorical sound.
In addition, jazz aged music is play in the background of the scene. This form of music is diegetic because it is implied to be present in the film. It simultaneously, sets the time period of the 1920s.
The music throughout the scene begins very softly to help the viewer pay attention to the dialogue and then gradually build volume to create a climax. This emphasises the triumphant discovery of Gatsby’s identity.
